Hide-This programme is available part-time online and full-time on campus. In online mode, all classes are delivered over the Internet and all practical work is completed using CIT’s cloud infrastructure.

Overview
Cybersecurity can be defined as the protection of information and information systems from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction in order to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Today, Cybersecurity is becoming a function of increasing importance for the continued operation of commercial entities. The increasing level of interconnectedness of information networks and the reliance of business models on this interconnectedness has resulted in a network (currently the Internet) that has over a yottabyte of information stored, much of which is unsecured. This continuing trend is predicted to strongly increase the importance of Information Security within most multinational entities.

This programme aims to fill the ever increasing skills gap in this area and delivers material that follows the most current practise. Upon successful completion of this programme the student will both understand and deploy the most advanced methods to protect information at rest, in transit, and at work.

Award
Master of Science in Cybersecurity (Level 9 on the National Framework of Qualifications). (Single module certification is possible).

Please note: Students who have successfully completed the 60 credit taught element of the MSc programme and who do not wish to complete the Master’s 30 ECTS research project may be awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Cybersecurity.
